For maintainers of CanJS and its submodules this guide describes

• How to make a releases of CanJS subprojects and the main package

Releasing CanJS subprojects

All CanJS subprojects modules have the same structure which allows making releases through npm scripts.

To make a release:

1. Move to the 3.x-legacy branch

2. Fetch all latest changes from the repository

3. Reinstall all Node modules in their latest version

   git checkout 3.x-legacy
   git fetch --all && git rebase
   npm cache clean
   rm -rf node_modules
   npm install
   

4. Then run npm run release:<versiontype>. For example, to make a PATCH release:

   npm run release:patch
   

This will run the tests, build, bump the version number accordingly and publish the module to npm.

Releasing the CanJS main project

The CanJS main package also has a 3.x-legacy branch set up to publish to the 3.x-legacy tag in NPM using the same release script setup.
